Upcoming Trips
Burnham Nature Sanctuary + Whiner Beer Co.
Explore a surprising (and secret) 100-acre pocket of wilderness that’s a crucial habitat for migratory birds and native plants in the city. This 2-mile-long hike in the Burnham Wildlife Corridor winds through prairie grasses and woodland groves. After, we’ll head to Whiner Beer Co. in Back of the Yards—an industrial brewery with funky sours and saisons in an old meat-packing plant turned eco-hub (The Plant).
Pickup / Dropoff at Bitter Pops in Lakeview (map).
St James Farm Trail + Solemn Oath Brewing
Escape to a farm forest preserve on the outskirts of the city with stops at Solemn Oath Brewing’s Naperville (Oathie's Burger Punchout burger cookoff is this day!). The 4-mile hike at St James Farm Forest Preserve meanders along manicured trails through woods, wetlands, and prairie. Here, great blue heron spotting are common and beautiful views are guaranteed.
